@briantakita Node doesn't have a higher concentration of "good developers" that's easy to tell. "Good Developers" flock to research projects, and advancing the art. There isn't a single Node.JS project that is leading the industry in a field. Python, Lisp, Java, all have Language, AI, and Physics projects that are shaping science and advancing humanity, what does Node have? Also a quick Ego Search of yourself would tell pretty quickly where you rank on the "good developer list". I wouldn't normally "bash" a person for their arguments, but when you say the developers make node good and then I search your name to find out if you are totally awesome, RipOff Report doesn't inspire confidence.

Gee thanks for the attack on my character! Yes, I had a lady extort me when I tried to help out one of my friends in the entertainment industry. She tried to charge for services that she didn't perform. I tried to send her a check for what we agreed on but she wouldn't give me an address and decided to attack me in public instead. I never met this lady nor talked to her before this incident happened. Btw, stay away from the entertainment crowd. Too much drama. Ripoff report also has great SEO. Character assassination is great and totally fair, lol! One thing I have learned from this experience is to spot bullshit and call it out immediately. And some of the things you have said, and now some of your actions, smell like bullshit. I'm sorry it upset you. Now can we stick to our actual discussion? Anyways, I have over 12 years experience and have been contributing to open source for a while. Projects including RSpec & RR. I'm pretty disciplined (automation, testing, good practices, etc) been a lead dev on a number of projects. I've done full stack web development (front end & back end), devops, scaling, scientific computing, & embedded systems. I worked with a number of startups. I've spoken at conferences. Check out my Linked In & Github profile if you want to see my caliber. What I meant by good developer is someone who is on the edge of technological movements. Yes, that even includes open source software. I was an early adopter in the Ruby community. I've been blessed by being around innovative people. I've rubbed elbows with the founders of Github, Ward Cunningham, and the many innovative developers that make up a strong community. It had a great feeling of innovation because there were great people involved. I feel (yes, it's a feeling), that the same spirit of innovation has moved to the node.js community. I agree that there is lots of innovation in the sciences. But that doesn't diminish the contributions of the many open javascript (& node.js) developers out there. What has been done in node.js? Keep your eyes open because it's unfolding before you right now. Yahoo, Google, Github, Walmart Labs, Twitter all seem to like it and they are doing a good job in "advancing the field". Your FUD can't do a thing about it. What have you done? You seem to be the "expert" on this manner, even though you can't even support your argument without ad hominem attacks.
